Introduction

There’s something special about an old-fashioned cobbler baking in the oven. This Blackberry Cobbler is sweet, tangy, buttery, and comforting — the kind of dessert that fills the house with memories before it even comes out of the oven. Made with simple pantry ingredients and juicy blackberries, this recipe is pure tradition in every bite.


🕰️ A Little History

Cobblers date back to early home kitchens where cooks created simple desserts with whatever fruit was available. Blackberries were especially popular because they grew wild and were easy to gather. Instead of fancy crusts, the batter was poured over fruit and baked until golden — rustic, hearty, and perfect. This recipe stays true to that old-fashioned method.


🧾 Ingredients

For the Blackberry Filling:

  • 4 cups fresh or frozen blackberries 🫐
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (for topping)

For the Cobbler Batter:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted

🔪 Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F / 190°C.
  2. Lightly butter a baking dish.
  3. If using frozen blackberries, do not thaw.

🥣 Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix blackberries with sugar and lemon juice. Set aside.
  2. In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Stir in milk until smooth.
  4. Pour melted butter into the baking dish.
  5. Pour batter over the butter — do not stir.
  6. Spoon blackberry mixture evenly over the batter.
  7. Sprinkle the top with the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar.
  8. Bake for 40–45 minutes, until golden and bubbling.

Let cool slightly before serving.


🔧 Methods
